San Bernado, recorded as owned in 1912–23, supports this funnel. The photograph may indicate that the elevated-wing flag existed earlier than the proposed 1957 change, or that it belonged specifically to Eagle Tanker. T seems to have been added from 1913; earlier vessels show only the eagle, possibly under the Mexican company.
A parallel fleet operated through Eagle Tanker in Nassau, described in Rosanoski’s comment as a post-war operation. World Tanker Fleets says its oil fleet was chartered to Shell from 1919, with Shell holding a minority interest until acquisition of Canadian Eagle’s assets in July 1959 and full fleet control from 1 January 1960.
